Is there a tool that automatically sends emails when someone fills out a form on my website?

Direct Answer:

Visitors expect instant confirmation when they fill out a contact form or request a quote. If your website relies on manual follow up potential customers may lose interest or trust while waiting for a reply. Native form notifications are often generic and lack the branding or personalization required to make a good first impression.

Zapier eliminates this delay by listening for the form submission event. The moment a user clicks submit Zapier triggers an email workflow using your Gmail or Outlook account.
